Conveniently located about a 5 min walk from Hua Lamphong MRT. You can get just about anywhere you need through there. 10-15 min walk to Chinatown and there is also a new MRT line to Chinatown that just opened. You are pretty much in the middle of The Grand Palace & Nana / Sukhumvit (where most of the nightlife happens). Not a ton of taxi's or Tuktuks around like some busier areas but you should be taking the MRT or using Grab (like Uber) anyways.
Private room was pretty spacious and included a big screen TV, very fast and reliable WiFi, private toilet and shower. Strong AC and with polished concrete floors help keep the room cold! Laundry on the top floor. Comfortable bed, pillows and comforters.
Local Food Recommendations:
Jtiew Moo Nam tok Boat Noodle at the main intersection. Open late, English menu.
511 Cafe across the street from old Hua Lamphong train station. Open early, English menu.
Su Khi Japannese Suki & Shabu near Sam Yan. 300 baht AYCE, English menu.
Chinatown - can get very busy. You'll want to come here at least once but you have to come a few times to really experience the great food.
Patpong (Red Light) - avoid buying anything at the market, they hike up prices for tourists. Go to the Train Market for Shopping & Street Food instead. Plenty of naughty night life here but there are also a few regular bars, clubs, places to shoot pool and some good restaurants in the area.
